Overview

The Pilot Capless in white pairs polished lacquer with rhodium-plated trim and a rhodium-plated 18k gold nib. Its capless form belongs to the series Pilot introduced in 1963, replacing a removable cap with a nib stored inside the body.

The push button extends the nib for writing and retracts it behind an internal shutter afterward. It accepts Pilot ink cartridges or a compatible converter for bottled ink, and a Namiki converter is included.

Made in Japan, it measures 154 mm long. The barrel is 13 mm wide, and the pen weighs 32 g.

Questions & Answers

How does the Capless work without a separate cap?

Press the button to extend the nib for writing, then press it again to retract it into the barrel. An internal shutter closes over the retracted nib to help protect it from drying out.

Which cartridges and converter fit this Capless?

It accepts Pilot IC-50 ink cartridges or a Pilot CON-40 converter for bottled fountain pen ink. A Namiki converter is included.

How should I care for the lacquered exterior?

Clean the lacquered exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Flüssiges Schreiben

Der Capless von Pilot ist sehr praktisch im täglichen gebrauch. Die Feder ist immer sofort Schreiben bereit und gleitet flüssig und weich über das Papier. Jedoch ist die Handhaltung etwas verkrampft wegen des ungewöhnlich angebrachten Clips, das merkt man allerdings erst bei längeren Schreibeinheiten, deshalb nur 4 Sterne.

Danke für Ihre ehrliche Bewertung des Pilot Capless! Die ungewöhnliche Clip-Position gewöhnt sich mit der Zeit an - wir freuen uns, dass Sie die Schreibqualität dennoch überzeugt. Ihr Feedback hilft anderen Kunden bei der Entscheidung.

My favourite pen(s)

This is my fifth Pilot capless pen and I love it. Always ready to write with free flowing ink. Beautiful to look at and comfortable to handle.
